great discussion.<br />
<br />
trying to market the game to new people ball golf is the obvious analogy. But in trying to stress that its easier to get started, It very difficult to hit a "freshie" in disc golf.<br />
Although ive seen it done :D

The big difference between ball golf and disc golf is the fact that we have a direct connection between ourselves and the thing we are trying to propel. Also in ball golf the object itself never changes, just the thing that is used to propel the object. In disc golf we change the object (disc) for different shots. Also in ball golf the distances are much greater. The only real similarity is that both objects (the ball and the disc) fly through the air. Other than that the twp sports are…

Yea, the 2 sports are very different. There isn't nearly as much sense of adventure in ball golf. I also think disc golf is a significantly more athletic sport. In disc golf, the flight of the disc is way funner to watch then a ball.

I loved ball golf and was okay at it, but 4 years ago I killed my back hanging drywall... bad enough to where I have not worked since! I triad ball golf, it's a no can do, but Disc golf on the other hand I can play... it still hurts every time but it's worth it!<br />

For me what I like better is the feeling of being in the woods, throwing around trees, over and under trees... up or down hills! I play a city park once in a while but the truth is.... in the case of an open park with almsot nothing to…

Ok, so maybe I do agree to disagree.... However, I don't think that casual ball golfers ever expect to hit a course and break even. You talk about breaking 100! That is shooting in the 90's which for a par 72 about 20ish strokes over par. That is the accepted type of play amongst duffers. Likewise, casual disc golfers do not expect to shoot the perfect round of 36 on an 18 hole course. They may break even or shoot under par regularly, but it is all relative.

I love to throw discs but we need more challenging courses(in my area expecially). More par 4s and 5s. I want to play discgolf on ball golf courses. I wish a birdie in disc golf felt as good as a birdie in ball golf. NO more pitch and putt disc golf courses!!
